13Modular Smart Array 1000 Configuration Procedures - for HP-UX Addendum
Configuring the storage
Thorough planning is critical to the successful and efficient deployment of any
storage array system. As discussed in the planning sections of Chapter 1:
“Installation Procedures - for all MSA1000 Deployments” of the MSA1000
installation guide, plans should include decisions about total system capacity,
fault-tolerance, performance, and availability.
Storage configuration tasks include:
■ Creating arrays / LUNs
■ Identifying the operating system of each connection to the MSA1000
■ Entering Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) or Access Control List (ACL)
settings to isolate the storage from unauthorized access
Perform these tasks using your chosen configuration utility. For information about
configuring the storage, refer to the ACU or the CLI user documentation.
See the corresponding tables in the MSA1000 installation guide to record
information about your storage.
